The Electoral Commission (EC) has extended the ongoing voters registration exercise by two additional days.
The exercise, initially set to conclude on May 27, will continue until Wednesday, May 29, 2024.
The Commission has said in a Friday, May 24, 2024, statement that the provision is to compensate for the time lost in the two initial days due to the network challenges that disrupted the process.
“This arrangement has been put in place to make up for the network challenges experienced during the first two (2) days of the Registration Exercise. The Commission aims to ensure that all eligible voters who wish to register, are afforded the opportunity to do so.
“We urge all eligible citizens who are yet to register to visit the Commission’s office in the district where they reside to register to vote,” the statement noted.
Meanwhile, several persons and groups had called for the extension of the period due to the lost time.
Running mate of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Prof. Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, for instance, asked the Commission to extend the period due to the challenges.
